Chapter 249

Underground Leyline
Translated by Kollumceti

It was not long before the whole academy knew about the incident.

A few good samaritans revealed the reason for the duel between You XiaoMo and Chai Jun. This even caused the bystander, Liu Yue, to become more famous.

Originally, it was normal for new students to undergo some hazing. This was because some new students were too wild, so they would need someone to knock them off their high horses. This was also the reason for Sun Zhe making trouble for Ling Xiao.

Regardless, Liu Yue was now affixed with the label of You XiaoMo’s underling, and no one dared to bully Liu Yue. Those who were beating him up also came to his door to apologise.

As they were just following Chai Jun’s orders, Liu Yue did not cause a big fuss over this matter. He was worried that accumulating too much resentment would make You XiaoMo and his school life more difficult. He may have suffered greatly, but one could say that he had profited from this misfortune.

When You XiaoMo and BaiLi XiaoYu arrived, Liu Yue had just sent off a bunch of people who came to apologise.

Liu Yue changed his clothes, and with You XiaoMo’s magic pills, he was feeling much better. In addition, his wounds were already in the midst of recovering.

Upon seeing him walk over, Liu Yue walked over and happily greeted, “Young Master!”

You XiaoMo gave a cough. Every time he heard Liu Yue calling him young master, he would feel uncomfortable. Although he had warned Liu Yue not to call him that, once he turned his back, Liu Yue would continue to address him as such. If this continued, You XiaoMo would get used to this form of address.

“Liu Yue, pack your belongings, come with me to the Third Winter Courtyard.” You XiaoMo said.

“The Third Winter Courtyard? Whatever for?” Liu Yue was surprised. There were only good-quality single person rooms there.

“Of course you’re going to be staying there. Did you think you were going there to appreciate the scenery?” You XiaoMo replied.

Before coming to Liu Yue, he had already consulted with Elder Gong, who was in charge of room rentals. He could transfer the room under his name to someone else, or cancel his booking. However, there was a one-time processing fee of two points to change rental ownership, and a refund of one point for cancelling. For example, the single room that he was renting now cost six points per day. If he cancelled his booking, it would be a net cost of five points. Since it was like this, it would be more cost-efficient to change ownership.

You XiaoMo’s room booking still had three days left, so he might as well transfer the room to Liu Yue.

Upon hearing that Young Master had helped him rent a single person room for three days, he did a double take, and anxiously replied, “Young Master, you can’t do this. You are the Young Master. It is natural for me to be the one on the giving side. How can I let you give me points? I cannot accept this.”

You XiaoMo took a plaque from his magic bag and gave it to Liu Yue. “Whether you want to accept it is up to you. I have already transferred the room to you. It is your decision to stay in it. I see that your wounds are much better. You can move over by yourself. I’ll be going first.”

Without giving Liu Yue a chance to refute, You XiaoMo and BaiLi XiaoYu left the Sixth Winter Courtyard and returned to Block Two.

On the way back, You XiaoMo found that the gazes observing him had greatly increased. He knew that he had once again attracted the limelight, but it couldn’t be helped. Who asked that rat Chai Jun to touch his underling? Of course he could not let that go.
